Jazz Icons Series 5



Another Winning Set of Jazz Greats!
First off, I have only 3 of this 6 disc set. I will get the other three when they are available and I have the credits that I receive from my job. I got John Coltrane Live in France 1965. The tunes are; Naima, Ascension, Impressions, A Love Supreme, parts 1 & 2. This is a B & W, 52 minute DVD. There is only 12 minutes of A Love Supreme, the balance of the tapes were " lost ". The quality is very good, minimal artifacts from the original source. A lot of use of superimposed angle / views to give it a slick look for 1965. We have Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones. Great Stuff. Next, Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers Live in France 1959. This is a 83 minute, B & W DVD. It is much better quality than the 1958 concert. It has some artifacts from the original, but not bad. It lacks that graininess that the 58 version has. We have Wayne Shorter, blowin' hot, Lee Morgan, always hot, I'll get anything with Lee Morgan in it. Walter Davis Jr. is on piano, this guy is great. Jymie...

Parfait
Tout s'est très bien passé. J'ai re
